This division is offering a grant to evaluate the effects of altered hydrologic regimes on forest succession in bottomland hardwood forests at Deep Fork NWR. The focus is on identifying relationships between altered hydrology and observed declines in the forest. The project aims to assess current forest conditions, set up long-term monitoring plots, and understand how landscape factors like elevation and proximity to the river influence forest succession under changing hydrologic regimes. Deadline for application submission is July 26, 2013.

| Description:: | This agreement is being implemented in order to evaluate the effects of altered hydrologic regime on forest succession in bottomland hardwood forests of Deep Fork NWR and whether these effects are related to observed declines in the forest and changing forest succession. The objective is to determine the current forest condition, establish permanent plots for long-term monitoring, and determine the relationship amoung forest conditions and landscape position factors such as elevation and proximity to river that hydrologic regime for a given location. |
